...might be the theme for the tour I did today . The first leg of my trip took me in the general direction of Wahren in the northwest of Leipzig.

The suburban stations up here are located in a trough - this line being served by S1 line suburban trains and stopping services to Weißenfels. This here was RB26712, inbound from Weißenfels with a few minutes worth of delay and with 143 831 at the head.

The station - well, it actually is a stop or "Haltepunkt" as it does not meet the German railway criteria for a "station" - is spanned by a bridge, traversed by Georg-Schumann-Straße as well as tram lines 10 and 11. Here, Tatra car 2172 and company are on their way to the Dölitz tram depot, which serves as the terminus for the 11E booster line - the "full" 11 line working from Schkeuditz to Markkleeberg Ost.

Tram line 10 terminates at Wahren along with the 11E line. In the foreground, NGT8 car 1117 "Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz" with full body advertisement for Leipzig's Central Stadium is waiting to begin its next round to Lößnig, while a Tatra set on the 11E line can be seen further in the background.

The suburban station Wahren is a few walking minutes away from the tram. Here, suburban service S 6137 is coming in on the S10 line from Halle, headed by engine 143 011. I then caught this same train to head back to the city.

After obtaining a snack I now headed to the borough of Paunsdorf, roughly northeast by east of the city centre, which is mostly a working class neighbourhood with numerous "Plattenbauten", as they're called in German. One of these blocks can be seen behind this Leoliner set on the 7 line to Sommerfeld, headed by car 1324 "Mockau".

This tram is 1337! Yes, it really is, though you may not be able to see the frontside number very well - I had to take the shot earlier than I wanted because of the car to the left . Car 1337 is one of at least four which have been fitted with multicoloured destination displays, which you may be able to spot when looking closely - the "7" being surrounded by a blue background to match the line colour.

After that I travelled to the south of the city centre, first snapping NGT8 car 1145 "Martin Luther" with full body advertisement for the state lottery, working the 2 line to Naunhofer Straße and coming down Grünewaldstraße...

...followed by NGT12 car 1216 "Kiev" on the 16 line to Lößnig. You may recognize the yellow building in the background from my earlier trip report - it once was the home of the People-Owned Furniture Combine of the GDR.

And that's it for today .
